[jira] [Created] (HDFS-5245) Retry policies should return false rather than rethrow an exception in branch-1

Haohui Mai created HDFS-5245:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Retry policies should return false rather than rethrow an exception in branch-1
                 Key: HDFS-5245
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5245
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
            Reporter: Haohui Mai
            Assignee: Haohui Mai


A RetryPolicy inspects the exception generated when performing work and decides to try the work again.

In branch-1 a RetryPolicy either returns false or rethrow the exception in the shouldRetry() function to indicate it decides not to retry. However, rethrowing an exception confuses the upstream code and causes it to print out excessive warning messages.

This bug is fixed in trunk and branch-2.
